jackbenimble Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi Everyone! I'm going to the Renaissance Fair here in GA on Sunday. Of course I have to stop at the Raven's Nest booth for all their amazing dried herbals and spices. I'm looking for suggestions on what to possibly purchase from them. I already have Chamomile powder and Calendula petals but what are some other dried herbals/spices that are a must to get from this vendor? Thank you for any advice or suggestions you all have!

Candybee Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Won't they be selling fragrance oils? They have some of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 They do have FO but they are priced very high. I would buy them if they were at a wholesale price. Maybe I need to talk with them. They also seem like they couldn't really be bothered but that's just opinion. I'm hoping they have some dried botanicals I can use in my soaps.

moonshine Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I tried to get them to dupe MW fairy garden and it was more expensive than all my oils out together! But their web catalog looks like they have some amazing herbsLet us know what you get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Has anyone ever used their fragrance oils? They are like $180.00 if I looked at the price right. .How can they be that high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Considering that fragrance buddy has duped the MW fragrances that were Raven's Nest's, it seems paying that exorbatant price is no longer necessary. Thank goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 So how did the festival go and what did you buy? Details please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbenimble Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 It was really fun!! I went with a friend and he had never been before. There were several soap/ BB vendors there. I didn't buy anything from them though. I did to Ravens Nest and buy a few things. I got a wonderful bag of dried rose petals & orange peel potpourri. I can't wait to use that on top of a soap as decorationI also purchased some dried hibiscus petals and lavender. Along with lemon & orange peel powder and a small bag of tumeric. Oh and a bad of dried peppermint leaves. I mainly am going to use this for my soap making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Those sound lovely. I love tumeric in soap. I get a nice golden yellow with it. Did you get lavender buds for the lavender? I use the lavender buds to make my own lavender water. You can also make rose water with the dried rose petals too. I use these for CP soap. You can also use the floral waters for misters.

jackbenimble Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yea I needed some more lavender. I like to grind it up into a powder for soaps. I'll have to try the water misters idea! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
